For 2025 Rosemarkie by Long Dog Samplers was the default travel project. This one colour project was a great travel companion. The next travel project is going to be another Long Dog Samplers piece: Krozwyrd. Well, this project is two colors. Only one is required at a time.
Planned to start
After the roses on January 1
Welcome to Earth as soon as possible
Celestial dragon - To be determined
So many projects - it can be hard keeping track.
At the start of 2025 I had 25 projects, including 4 that are gifts. One needs new fabric; it is mostly white and the gray is not making the white pop.
Total projects: 23 - was hoping to finish Rosemarkie (Long Dog Samplers) over the holiday period but it isn’t looking good.
